Jenkins in Google Summer of Code 2017

One of the major initiatives in the Jenkins project is an updated interface and user experience, called Blue Ocean. Some of the popular Jenkins plugins will require conversion to the Blue Ocean plugin architecture.

Students will use modern technologies (e.g. React, NodeJS, and/or Java) to help convert the most widely used plugins to work with Blue Ocean with help from Blue Ocean core developers. We expect students to select a particular plugin (or plugins) together with potential mentors and then to come up with a list of improvements to be made.

Prerequisites:

Potential mentors: Keith Zantow and other Blue Ocean team members

The idea is to create a Jenkins plugin for one of the widely used Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools.

Tools from both ASIC or FPGA design flow are acceptable. We are ready to consider conditionally-free and open-source tools, which would be available to the student and his mentors.

Potential mentors: Martin d’Anjou, Oleg Nenashev

Few ideas of new features to add:
